Does Your Business Dispose Of Waste As Per Legal Rules?

Businesses run in England are bound by legal obligations to properly store, manage and dispose of the waste created during manufacturing and production process. This is your responsibility to keep yourself updated with the state's waste legislation and abide by it.

What is considered as safe waste disposal as per law?

There are situations when legal authorities pass the laws, but don't clarify what is the right method to follow it. Most of the businesses get confused with what is the right waste disposal technique for commercial waste. Well, to avoid any type of legal processing and fine, you should follow 'The Environmental Protection Act 1990'. In this you will find the right technique for waste disposal on land, water and air to control pollution in England and Scotland.

To make it easy for you, we have compiled some questions you can ask yourself to find out if you dispose of waste legally or not.

• Have you made commercial waste agreement with any authorized waste carrier?

• Do you get a Waste Transfer Note from your waste carrier?

• Do you fill you waste in appropriate container for proper recycling?

• How regularly and quickly the filled waste containers removed from your complex?

Negative answer even for a single question above can cause you serious risks like a hefty fine up to £5000.

What should you do?

The first thing is to checkout appropriate waste recycling techniques for the type of waste your commercial unit creates. For instance wooden or agro waste can be used to make renewable energy source. There are briquette press machine suppliers in India and other countries providing affordable machines, which can be easily installed in the commercial complex to make briquettes. You can use these briquettes in boilers or furnaces.

If not possible, you can also take help of professional waste collection and recycling companies to follow the legal obligations and protect environment. These companies will also guide you with the state laws and techniques to follow the laws to avoid any penalty and fine.
